I think '$name' is a perl holdover.

Additionally, this does work, but is horribly unreadable to people not familiar with C++

This is the preferred way to do it.

e.self:Emote("begins to furiously work the metal. Sparks fly and a faint magical e.self:Say("Greetings, " .. e.other:GetName() .. "! Join in the [celebration]! Have a few drinks. Alas, there are no [Tumpy Tonics].");
